Amsterdam - Stedelijk Museum - Barbara Kruger - Past/Present/Future
Barbara Kruger’s work with pictures and words addresses mass culture’s representations of power, identity and sexuality. As she has stated, “I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be, and what we become.” The range of Kruger’s works is broad—from photographic prints on paper and vinyl to videos, room-size installations, public commissions, printed matter, and a variety of merchandise. Using the language of direct address and words like “you,” “me,” “we,” and “they,” her works reach out into the social space of the spectator.
In this installation—designed especially for the building’s largest gallery, known as the Hall of Honor—Kruger’s wraps the floor and walls with printed texts that “speak” directly and loudly to the spectator in a chorus of voices. Her provocative, emotionally charged statements about how people regard and treat each other disrupt the decorum of a traditional museum space. Bringing the world into her work and her work into the world, she confronts stereotypes and clichés, shattering them with a rigorous critique, a generous empathy and a sharp wit.
"Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day."
~ Dalai Lama
A view of The General Fireproofing Company of Youngstown Ohio. The company began in 1902 and started as a manufacturer of building materials. It then manufactured steel office furniture and fireproof safes. In World War II it made aircraft parts. The company went bankrupt in 1989.

the good news is: we are alive and we count our blessings... the bad news: our home too got badly damaged in the terrible earthquake in Central Italy last night... "not accessable", it has been declared. We camp out in the studio, all ok here, and the emergency plan will take its shape in the next days, weeks... time and space can get such different dimensions
--If you came straight to this picture then you are in the middle of a sequence that must be read in order. Please start here--
I am discovering that when I create something I am as much the audience as I am the artist. Only after I have created something do I look back and see what meaning is there, it is not with conscious effort that I put the meaning into it and yet I find it after the fact. Does that mean there is actually any meaning if I don't put it in with conscious effort? Gawd only knows, but it fascinates me nonetheless.
And there was more meaning in this to be discovered yet.
once worn by my beloved dad ...
a WWII veteran. my own personal hero.
wars are horrific. there is a price. there is a toll.
we did not speak of those years. those days. those moments.
we chose to remember war no more. i honor him right here; right now.
i'm wearning your 'tags today, dad;
close to my heart they'll be. oxoxo

An experiment in 3 dimensional painting and extending the usual 2D picture plane (which is always in 3D anyway!) with some inspiration from Richard Tuttle.
The title has reference to the distance between the nearest object, the frame and the furthest picture in the background. light from this picture always takes longer to reach us, but it some how appears to me as being in the future as its yet to be fully exposed.

--If you came straight to this picture then you are in the middle of a sequence that must be read in order. Please start here--
And so this past week I have been anchored.
I made this sculpture on the day before Christmas Eve and it took a week to prepare. Each night I created six ice discs and in the morning stacked them with layers of snow in between. I would leave each stack to freeze and begin on the next set of six discs. Over the next five nights I ended up with thirty discs made into five ice/snow stacks. One lunchtime I walked to a favourite spot of mine where I knew large icicles grew. In fact the place where I got the icicles for
After this long cold snap, the icicles were more plentiful and larger than I have seen them before, so I took one of the longest, finest and most elegant and set about cementing it to a disc with slush for glue.
Each night that I was outside doing this, the air was cold and clear. The sky was a deep, navy blue with pin pricks of sparkling light, the planets and stars perfectly positioned as if never changing and from behind the bank of trees in front of me, the moon would rise turning the navy blue to royal.
I had in mind the Land Art Connections theme for December - Past, Present and Future, or, at least in hindsight I realised that what I was making spanned the winter solstice and how it connected this season to the next. As the shortest day is reached the days begin to lengthen once again and spring seems not so far away.
The more land art I do the more entranced and enchanted with change, cycles and the interconnectedness of all things, I become. Everything seems to be a wave. As daylight hits the bottom of the curve it bounces back up again to life and colour aplenty, until the top of the wave sends it back down again. These things can be seen everywhere in nature. This cold snap is to do with another cycle, a cycle of the movement of the air over the North Atlantic.
If it wasn't for this cold air and this regular cycle I couldn't have made this sculpture. It wouldn't have been below freezing all day and my discs would have melted. It wouldn't have been cold enough at night to completely freeze the discs and to stick ice to ice in time for the morning. If the cold snap wasn't consistent and long lasting I wouldn't have managed to make thirty discs and it wouldn't be as tall.
I've long wondered whether artists are aware of the concept they are trying to convey before they embark on creating something. I cannot speak for others but for me it comes out after the fact as though the simple act of creation opens the mind. I am fully prepared to learn something and have something deep within revealed, when I stand in front of another artist's work. That, to me, seems to be the formula:
- Artist comes up with idea
- Artist creates something with meaning
- Audience views art
- Mind is stimulated
- Meaning is revealed
But it seems it is much, much more complex than that.

Whenever I work at my computer at home, I like to get up at least once an hour to move the blood in my legs around...so I crank up Rob Zombie's version of Brick House. And dance. Like no one's watching. Like a big nerd.
Try it girls...if you didn't have the heart of a stripper, you soon will :)
For threesixtyfive and FGR challenge, "Music In My Mind"
Explore! Thanks for all of your kind comments and faves :)
No one gets to see the actual ring for a few days, since she has not...which is why its hidden..
I will be out for a few days, hope to take some decent shots and share with all the flicker-ites..

So where am I going with all this? Boy, you do ask some difficult questions.
Our perceptions certainly change over time, as we get older, as we age, change and develop. Christmas now arrives at lightning speed, without the nailbitingly slow anticipation but then without much of the magic either. Although that lost magic has been replaced ten fold by everything I see around me outside in the world. Well not replaced exactly. Maintained from when I started to walk.
I've come to realise, and perhaps this is the same for us all, that the things I do for fun become anchor points for my life.
I have a pretty large record collection as I used to DJ at raves, clubs and parties in the '90's and just recently I've been recording my vinyl onto my computer and relistening to a whole load I've not listended to for twenty years. It's brought back many memories of when I first heard or played a particular record. Anchor points aplenty.
After my DJ'ing exploits I got into the outdoors: walking, exploring, trekking and climbing with lots of trips to mountain ranges the world over. There were many sublime, intense and unforgettable experiences. Yet more anchor points.
And now it is land art. When I think back to what I have created, I can remember each day, each sculpture, how the day felt, what I saw, experience and learnt. Anchor points amore.
And yet the stuff in between? The working, the snoozing, the watching TV. The driving from A to B, the time on the internet, the dreaming of being and doing something else. These all fade soon after the event. These things are not my life, not me, not remembered. And yet? They probably make up the majority of my time alive.
How many questions does this raise? So many, so many...
Can you experience those anchor points without the drudge in between? Can your whole life be anchors, or is it just too much hard work for every one of us who isn't a maverick or an extreme character. The trouble is real life is the thing that is happening while you try and work out these answers. There are no rehearsals.

I took the five barrels of snow and ice to a frozen tarn high up on a moor and stacked them up until it was about six foot tall. Lastly I place the final disc with its unicorn horn on top. The moon was once again rising, first very large and foreshortened as it breached the horizon, gradually lessening as it tracked across the sky. The sentinel stood tall and the sharp icicle pointed directly towards the moon as though connected to the heavenly body. I took pictures before pouring water over it, in the hope it might freeze more solidly overnight. I set off home and a Little Owl spooked from the road perhaps looking for moisture from the gritted road surface.
Before dawn I returned to witness the sunrise after the moonrise hours before. Like a series of interconnected lights, each disc lit up orange one by one as the first of the sun's rays pierced each disc in turn, until finally it was illuminated from top to bottom. It was quite a sight to see. It had developed a quirky lean, much like the tower of Pisa but still remained frozen in place. I was surprised but very pleased that I got to witness it again at sunrise. I left it again hoping to see it intact once more for the sunset.
With trepidation I returned at 3pm to find it had collapsed. The sun had melted its icy bonds and Pisa could lean no more. I stacked up what was left so that I could see the light play across the discs, as the sun dropped behind the horizon. I have to say the hastily erected sculpture, made from the remains, did not have an appealing look. I toyed with entitling it "Christmas Phallus" but I don't think I could avoid accusations of schoolboy humour, even if I pretended that I was trying to remark on both Christian and Pagan symbology!

Symbol of good luck. The bat in the top right stands for long life, and the emblem is for good luck.

I was out filming this flag for a green screen project I'm working on. I was pleased with the quality, despite the rain and shooting from inside the car. As I was uploading this, I started to really listen to the bbc news story in the background. It's crazy to me how WAR has always been a part of us. War is evil and wrong yet so many of us have made peace with the inevitability of what world governments do. Radio Voice from BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/

The past is represented by the the window and the decay, the present by the green vine (the only sign of life), and the future by the ladder.
Time as I've known it doesn't take much time to pass by me.
Minutes into days, turn into months, turn into years, they hurry by me.
Still, I love to see the sun go down, and the world go around.
Dreams full of promises, hopes for the future, I've had many.
Dreams I can't remember now, hopes that I've forgotten, faded memories.
Still, I love to see the sun go down, and the world go around.
I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky
I love to remember and I love to wonder why
And I hope that I'm around so I can be there when I die
And when I'm gone
I hope that you will think of me in moments when you're happy and you're smiling.
And that the thought will comfort you on cold and cloudy days if you are crying.
And that you'll love to see the sun go down
And the world go around, and around and around.
